Man, I remember when I lusted after that card. I ended up with a Radius system that never bloody worked properly. And the cost of hard discs just to 7MB/s!
Sorry, just makes one thankful for what we have now.

No I’m afraid not. Just tried it. You can choose Audio – 4 channel in the audio device set up window (ProIO in this case of course) but not in Log & Capture. Six weeks to wait for FCP 5.

Not sure what you mean here. DVD drives only lock to a particular DVD region playback, nothing to do with NTSC/PAL

Hi Walt; the QT7 recording inteface is a bit clunky; its set up more for iSight cameras etc. and I suspect it is a work in progress. I am sure it will recognise your card (my AJA io shows up). You have to set the encoding to ‘input native’ and it looks for all the world that it is recording at half resolution. Scale up the result by x2 and it is fact full res! Not particularly solid in its present incarnation but I suspect there will soon be some simple 3rd party utilities for this sort of thing soon.

No problems here so far with AJA io and FCP 4.5. New QT allows you to select multiple Audio inputs for recording but I haven’t fully tested yet. The HiDef material on Apple’s QT site is astonishing. The H264 codec is pretty amazing and HiDef material on a normal DVD is definitely viable; I now understand the thrust of DVD Studio 4. QT7 also allows simple capture from the AJA io but the interface is clunky and is more set up for working with iSight etc. I would be easy I suspect for a developer to make a very quick and easy capture app for video which simply wasn’t the case before QT7. I think we are going to see an explosion of little apps that exploit CoreVideo and CoreGraphics.
I’ve captured to FCP and layed back without problem using firmware 21-26; the new 22-27 firmware is still unstable IMHO.

Yeah, we all know this. So what? If you were paying any sort of attention you would know this is always the deal. Wait for FCP 5 and stop yer whining.

QT7 with Tiger is supposed to allow simple video capture.

Don’t be silly. No G5 PowerBook until next year.

They didn’t ‘fail’, they decided not to, for very good reasons I am sure.

Since those mock-ups were shown Panasonic have decided (quite rightly in my opinion) not to compete in the HDV space but to bring their DV100HD codec to a lower price point. Sister company JVC are staking out the HDV area.
I believe there will be also be a $30k Varicam sports/eng model at NAB as well as the HVX
